Those familiar with Kahr will realize that they offer standard priced pistols and 'budget' priced pistols that are similar to the more expensive versions. They have been lacking a 'budget' model in their full sized pistol line-up until now. Kahr has introduced the CT-40 and CT-45 to complement their TP counterparts at an MSRP of $449. A CT-9 will be released sometime next summer.I owned a TP-45 several years ago and regret selling it; maybe I'll be able to replace it with a new CT!
